The Patapsco Sunday Schoo, celebrated
Childrens Day on last Sunday evening at the
Patapsco NJ. Il. Church, which was beautiful
ly decorated for the occasion with evergreen
wreaths and flowers, floral crosses, arches,
&c. A large floral anchor was suspended
behind the altar and the word "Welcome, in
large green letters, appeared beneath one of
the arches. Long before the rays of the set
ting sun had faded from the western horizon,
the people, men, women and children, began
to crowd into the little church, and in short
time it was jammed and packed to the exclu-
sion of o large crowd that was unable to gain
an entrance. The exercises, which were
conducted by Watson Taylor, Superintendent,
assisted by Rev. W. C. Rabcock, the pastor
in charge, George Rooms, A., y. Qursler,
Miss Abbott, and others, opened by singing
''Let Him In the children's festal song,
by the children, and prayer Icy Rev. Mr..
Babcock. Then came the Introductory
address by William Shamer, the responsive
Scripture readings, Rotations, singing, &c.
Some of the more interesting features of the
program were 4 scripture acrostlc by nineteen
little boys and girls; recitation Frhe Bible
by Minnie Chew; the infant class exercise and
singing, ~ want to be worker" by the
children; recitation "0ur Heroes by Miss
Eta Bush; the collection address, by Miss
Ella Stocksdale; "The Penny Song" by all
the children and the Triple Pledge by
Elias Taylor, Carroll ShaineF, end Willard
Taylor. 1t is only necessary to say. without
further comment, that every part of the pro-
gram was performed admirably well. There
was no Instrumental music, but the singing
was so well rendered as to excite the adlnira,
ton of all present, The exercises closed
with collection for the benefit OF the edu-
cational fund, and singing the hymn, Meet
Me There.
The fine weather during the week has given
quite an impetus to agricultural work, farmers
being busy in working corn, potatoes and other
crops.
The Pleasant Grove NJ. f. Church at Sandy
vile has been undergoing some internal re-
pairs for several weeks, and reopening of
the church will take place next Sunday, with
appropriate ceremonies. A minister from
Baltimore is expected to be present to deliver
the sermon.
The potatoes in sqr vicinity give signs of
taking the blight again as they did last year.

Forgot NE was Married.

\ paragraph has been going the
rounds OF the press of late purporiing to
be truthful account of remarkable
case of absent mindedness which made a
young man forget his wedding day. A
prominent civil engineer in this city
called attention to this floating para
graph, and said
81 know of a much more re-
markable case. 1t was not absent
mindedness, however, but an illustration
of the wonderful concentration of
thought which is possible in great
emergencies. Somewhere about 1857
Ed. ID. Mason, assistant engineer on the
Wabash road went to Buffalo to be
married. The ceremony was performed
at 10 o'clock in the morning. While
congratulations were being extended the
newly-wedded benedict received a tele-
gram from his chief in Toledo informing
him that an important truss-bridge over
a river on the line of the road had
been burned and must be rebuilt i'm
mediately. The working plans could
not he found, and Mason was ordered
home. AS the trains ran he could
not reach Toledo before the next
morning. Taking a hasty adieu OF
the bride and the wedding party, and
promising to return at ) o'clock
to partake of the wedding dinner, he hur.
ried to the office of an engineer well
known to him, who at once placed the
facilities of his Office at MNson's disposal.
BY IL O'Clock he was hard at work.
When 3 o'clock came, feeling faint and
weary, he walked down stairs mechani-
cally, entered neighboriug restaurant
that he had frequented before, refreshed
himself with q sandwich and glass OF
beer, and returned to his work. BY
o'clock he had duplicated the original
plans of the bridge from memory, In
Guiding exact measurements and quanti-
ties, and telegraphed them to Toledo. On
this Geographic plan the bridge-builders
instantly set to work, and found it abso-
lutely correct even 10 the minutest detail.
1t was a most astonishing feat. But what
is still more astonishing is the fact that
from the moment Mason left his bride in
the morning until he had forwarded his
Geographic report he never recalled the
event OF his marriage. When he went
ont for his lunch he might Just as well
have gone to the wedding dinner, as the
distance was no greater, and excused him
self without loss Of time. But his
mind was so intensely occupied in
meeting the emergency chat no thought
of anything but the burned bridge could
gain entrance. In later years Mason
was colonel in the army. prominent
member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers, and left as monuments
to bis skill the bridge over the Missis-
sippi at Hannibal and that over the Mis-
souri, at st. Joseph. He died some fif-
teen years ago. His widow Is still liv-
ing, and has in my presence corrob-
GRATED, so far as she could, Colonel Ma
sons account Of his wedding-day ex-
perience.
